LAFAYETTE, Ind.— A late Tuesday morning crash left one person dead just outside of Lafayette.

At about 11:15 a.m., the Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Office sent out a Nixle alert advising the intersection of SR 26 and 900 E would be closed until further notice due to a crash.

The crash involved a Dodge Durango and a semi-truck, both vehicles pushed into the ditch from the impact of the crash.

Captain Rob Hainje said the passenger of the Dodge was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Dodge was transported to IU Health Arnett Hospital in Lafayette, but was then transported by medical helicopter to a hospital in Indianapolis. The driver of the semi-truck was not injured in the crash.

A witness to the accident told deputies the Durango did not yield at the stop sign, traveling north on 900 E, while the semi-truck was traveling west on SR 26.

Hainje said names of those involved in the crash will likely not be released until Wednesday while they work with the Tippecanoe County Coroner's Office on identifying the injured and notifying families.
